We contribute to aircraft architecture, systems and propulsion integration, certification-ready development, and scalable programme ramp-up. Our teams work across FAA and EASA certification frameworks, including SC-VTOL, enabling rapid innovation while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Commercial Aviation
Structural design, structural substantiation, systems integration and propulsion integration for commercial aircraft programmes. We support both new developments and derivative platforms, delivering certification-ready engineering in accordance with FAA and EASA regulations, including CS-23 and CS-25. Our experience spans primary and secondary structures, industrialisation support and complete product lifecycle development.
Defense & Special Mission
Engineering solutions for defence and special mission aircraft, supporting safety-critical systems, mission equipment integration and structural resilience. Our expertise covers aircraft structures, systems engineering and certification-driven development, delivering robust solutions for demanding operational environments.
SERVICES
Engineering Solutions
Development & Prototyping
From early concept development to prototype validation, we accelerate technology maturation through rapid engineering, structural verification, hardware integration and test readiness. Our certification-driven approach reduces technical risk, shortens development cycles and enables a smoother transition towards serial production.
Engineering Work Package Ownership
Avionly takes full ownership of complete engineering work packages, delivering end-to-end solutions from concept to certification. Our multidisciplinary teams cover requirements engineering, architecture definition, detailed design, structural analysis, systems integration, certification documentation and supplier management. We deliver measurable outcomes with full technical accountability, predictable milestones and uncompromising quality.
Supply Chain & Cost Engineering
Engineering decisions directly influence cost, schedule and long-term competitiveness. We support make-or-buy strategies, supplier selection, industrialisation, design-to-cost, value engineering and manufacturing readiness, ensuring technical excellence and commercial viability from the earliest development phases.
Technical Assistance
Embedded & Strategic Engineering
Our engineers integrate seamlessly into customer organisations, providing immediate technical capability where it matters most. Beyond embedded engineering, we support leadership teams with systems engineering, certification strategy, programme execution, organisational development and technical decision-making. We don’t simply provide resources, we deliver expertise, engineering leadership and measurable results.
Technical Consulting
We provide senior technical consulting for complex aerospace programmes, supporting executive teams and chief engineers in critical engineering decisions. Our expertise spans systems architecture, certification strategy, programme recovery, supplier management, organizational development, technical due diligence, and engineering governance. Every recommendation is grounded in hands-on experience delivering certified aircraft programmes.
Project & Programme Management
We lead aerospace development programmes from concept through certification, combining technical leadership with disciplined programme execution. Our teams coordinate multidisciplinary engineering activities, manage technical risks, supplier interfaces, certification milestones, and development roadmaps while maintaining alignment between engineering, schedule, cost, and regulatory objectives.
Software Development & Agentic AI
We develop engineering software, digital workflows, and AI-powered engineering agents that enhance productivity without compromising traceability or compliance. Our solutions automate repetitive engineering activities, streamline requirements and certification processes, and support engineering teams with tools designed around FAA and EASA regulatory frameworks. Rather than replacing engineers, our software empowers them to work faster, smarter, and with greater consistency across the entire product lifecycle.
Engineering Department Creation
We help organizations build high-performing engineering departments from the ground up. From organizational structure and role definition to engineering processes, development standards, digital infrastructure, supplier integration, and recruitment strategy, we create scalable engineering organizations capable of delivering certified aerospace programmes with long-term efficiency and technical excellence.
ENGINEERING
Structures Design
& Development
End-to-end structural engineering covering concept development, detailed design, structural substantiation, certification support and product lifecycle development. Our expertise spans metallic and composite primary and secondary structures, lightweight optimisation, FEM analysis, fatigue and damage tolerance, certification reporting, manufacturing integration and maintainability. We deliver certification-ready structural solutions from early concept through industrialisation and entry into service.
Advanced Propulsion Integration
Integration of conventional, electric, hybrid-electric and hydrogen propulsion systems into next-generation aircraft platforms. Our multidisciplinary approach addresses structural, thermal, systems and installation challenges, ensuring safe, efficient and certification-ready propulsion architectures throughout the complete development lifecycle.
Digital & Agentic Engineering
Development of intelligent engineering workflows combining CAD automation, FEM automation, AI-assisted engineering and agentic engineering solutions. We create scalable digital toolchains that improve engineering productivity, traceability, quality and decision-making across the entire product development lifecycle.
Systems Engineering
Systems Engineering provides the framework that connects all engineering disciplines throughout the aircraft development lifecycle. Our expertise includes requirements engineering, architecture definition, interface management, verification and validation planning, safety assessment and certification planning in accordance with ARP4754B and ARP4761A, delivering certification-ready aircraft systems from concept to entry into service.
